James Patrick Kelly's Strangeways Number 4

Strangeways returns and Hugo, Nebula and Locus award winner James Patrick Kelly is in holiday spirits. To celebrate, he's offering a two new stories so that all of you unwrapping Kindles, iPads, smartphones, tablets and the like will have answers to some of your strangest questions. For example, will Christmas survive the apocalypse? If you were uploaded into a computer, in what sense would you still be you? And how will you cope with your deceased but digitally-preserved family members when they gather on December 25th, 2061? The lead story, "The Best Christmas Ever" was a finalist for science fiction's Hugo Award in 2005 and the romantic comedy "Candy Art" has been reprinted – and "respoken" on audio – several times. These stories plus an essay on your hard choices about immortality are featured in this edition of James Patrick Kelly's Strangeways!
